Merchandized displays give us a confirmation of trends happening now and a directional view on trends to come in the Fall. Bohemian and romantic details show up in the form of vintage prints on tops. The volume skirts also continue and get a sporty twist with knit waistbands. The ethnic theme also comes into play and makes for interesting detailing and embroideries on both tops and bottoms.

Embellishments were seen across the board at the show and beaded embroideries are most important especially on tees and sweats for girls. Neck and hemline embroiders prevailed on wovens while designs like crosses pushed the point on classic tanks. Whether it is a screen with embroidery on a tee or beading on a woven, metallic gold and silver are the way to go.

The Kids runway for Fall was a showcase of trends and confirmations of what will continue next season. Denim drove the show in jeans, skirts, and jackets. The newness on denim came in when it was embroidered and screenprinted on bottoms, and tiered on a skirt. A silhouette borrowed from Juniors, the cuffed cropped pant looks strong for fall. Up top, color-blocking, and fur showed up as key. Quilted jackets and vests are back in bright colors.

On the Junior runway, volume and ethnicity are key. We see this trickle down to kids in the form of tiered shorter skirts. On tops, knits especially gain attention with interesting appliqués. The cropped knicker look is also sure to carry over to girls.

Jackets definitely dominate here. The puff style and athletic styles were most seen on the runway, while in the booth it is clear that the concept is layering over slim-fitting blazers and jackets. Continuing with the romance theme, puff sleeves and rouching make great detailing as well as fur for these lightweight layering jackets.

Sporty hoodies are always a great selling piece. The difference this time is that there are more appliqués and embroideries. The same is true on knit tops around necklines. Layering is still important, though silhouettes take on a more Victorian shape with empire waist styles.

Everything from casual to sporty and romantic to sexy was shown in Magic’s booths!
